THE TOMPKINS-CORTLAND JOINT LABOR COALITION

Happy New Year! At the December meeting we approved a statement of General
Principles on Plant Closing Legislation. Since then, these same principles have |
passed two key committees of the City Government - both by unanimous votes. This
legislation is sure to be big news in the months ahead. Also in December the
Coalition received a Certificate of Merit from the state office of the AFL-Clu
for the work we did for the Mondale/Ferraro campaign.

NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, January 23, 1985, 7:00 pem. at the Plumbers and ripe-
fitters Hall, 701 West State Street.

Agenda: - Plant Closing Legislation Campaign

IMPORTANT NOTICE
A new dues structure was voted on and approved by the Labor Coalition at the
December meeting. If your Union has from 2 to 49 members your dues are $30 per
year, not to exceed one doliar per member. If your Union has from 50 to 100
members your dues are $60 per year. And if your Union has mpre than 100 membe
your dues are $100 per year. If these amounts create a genuine hardship for any

Union the Coalition encourages you to appeal to the Steering Committee. Ae

don’t want any member to feel that they have to leave the Coalition because a
they are unable to meet the dues. ES
Checks should be made out to the Tompkins-Cortland Joint Labor Coalition and o.
given to Treasurer Jim Nichols or any member of the Steering Committee. 8
